I’ve been more active in the kitchen lately, taking advantage of the fall produce now readily available, like squash and pumpkins. One thing I’ve been meaning to do is update last year’s pumpkin bar recipe and jazz it up a bit. These pumpkin bars are sweet and moist with nuances of ginger and orange. Yum!

It may look like a lot of ingredients in the photo above, but it’s really not! Most of what’s pictured are seasonings to expand the flavor. The ingredients you need for these sugar free pumpkin bars are:

• 15 ounces pumpkin puree
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup coconut or olive oil
• 1/2 cup Truvia® natural sweetener (about 30 packets)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest from one orange

Step One:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together your eggs, oil, Truvia®, and pumpkin.

Step Two:

Add in the rest of your ingredients and mix together.

Step Three:

Pour mixture into greased 9×13 cake pan. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the middle has set.

Step Four:

Let cool, slice, and enjoy!
